(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 47. Torture for Andre
"Feel it! Feel the fruit of the seeds you have sown!"Leon clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he remembered everything Andre had done to him and the people he loved. Another fact that had not been revealed and was only being investigated was whether Andre was involved in the death of his late grandfather."If it is proven that you were behind Grandpa's death, I don't know what I will do to you, Uncle Disobedient. One thing is for sure, I will not forgive you, Uncle. Grandpa is the only closest family I have. Grandpa's departure certainly left me with a deep sense of pain and loss."Leon muttered with a miserable face. Feeling all alone now. Leon could have approached his late mother's family. However, he did not have enough guts to face his mother's mistakes. Not afraid, but more reluctant and guilty that so entangled him. Leon's mother had sacrificed to leave her extended family, in the name of love for Leon's father. Elopement, that's the term. Leon's parents played out the

48. Veronica Kidnapped (Again)Leon's firm answer made Felix clench his fists. Then he did something that made Leon angry. Slap! Felix threw a slap on Leon's cheek. Leon didn't have time to dodge because he didn't expect to get a 'reward' from Charlie's adopted brother. "That's your reward for speaking rudely to your parents!"Hearing Felix's words, Leon's heart felt boiling. Leon's jaw tightened, his eyes staring sharply at Felix, as if they were going to pierce his heart. Leon's hands were already clenched, but he loosened them again because he remembered that they were in the police station. Leon didn't want to get into trouble if he hit Felix. "It's up to Grandpa what you want to say. I only did what I had to do to protect myself and my family. Grandpa should ask first, what did Uncle Andre do that made me do this!" After saying that, Leon immediately turned around and left the room. Why bother with someone who doesn't know his place, he thought."Leon! Grandpa hasn't finishe

Leon clenched his fists tightly as he read the contents of the letter. In his heart he tried to guess who the kidnapper really was. "Could he be someone close to me? But who?" Leon muttered with a frown. Leon could not predict who had done that. He tried to dig into his memory, who in the city had known Veronica as his wife. They both got married in the city where Veronica lived, while in the city where Leon lived, people did not know about the marriage.After Veronica's kidnapping incident at the hospital and Leon found out that Veronica survived, Leon was very protective of his wife. Especially considering the danger of Andre's threat. So he took Ariana and Veronica to the city where Leon lived. He bought a fairly luxurious house for Veronica to live in, with very tight security. "Who is that person? How did he know that Veronica was in this city and lived here?" Leon muttered softly, but enough to be heard by Ariana's ears. "Do you have an enemy who is always targeting you?"

Leon left the room where Udin was being held and locked the door. Then he took out his cellphone and called someone. "Hello. I have a task for you!" Then Leon explained what tasks Cindy, the person he contacted, had to do. [Okay, Young Master. I'll do it right away!] Hearing that satisfactory answer, Leon immediately ended the call. Leon exhaled roughly, then put his cellphone into his pants pocket. He really felt dizzy and stressed. Andre and Felix's problems were not over yet, he had to face Veronica's problem.Meanwhile, Cindy immediately spread her men to secure the nearest airports that Dion could reach. After getting news from Cindy, Robert also moved, together with Bobby ordering IT experts to hack CCTV to the airport and also look for flight tickets in the names of Dion Han and Sherin Veronica Mahendra. After searching everywhere, they finally found their flight tickets to Singapore which were booked for the next two hours. Leon immediately moved quickly, ordering Henri,

Luckily, Henri had memorized the car's license plate. Then he grabbed his cell phone from his pants pocket and called someone. "Hello, I need your help. Immediately!" It was not in vain that Robert recommended Henri to Leon because the man was proven to be able to respond quickly to the situations and conditions he faced. Henri quickly connected with Marcel, an IT expert that Robert had introduced to him. The car's license plate number was immediately tracked. It only took a few minutes, and finally the owner of the car that Dion and Veronica were riding in was found.[The owner is a Singaporean named John Frederick. I'll share this with his home address] Marcel replied from the other side. "Okay, Marcel. Thanks for the information!" [You're welcome. Oh yeah, I'll also share information about Dion and John Frederick. Maybe you'll need it later] "Okay."[John Frederick is Dion Han's confidant who is trusted to manage Dion Han's assets in Singapore. Dion Han has a fairly large hou

Henri immediately reached into his pants pocket and took out his cellphone. Then Henri's minimalist eyes widened when he saw who had contacted him. "Oh, what should I do? What should I tell him?" Young Master Leon. That was the name on Henri's cellphone screen. Of course Henri felt anxious because he had not done his job well. The cellphone kept ringing, until it finally turned itself off. However, before Henri could breathe a sigh of relief, the call from the same number rang again. Inevitably, Henri picked it up, while his mouth was muttering prayers that Leon would not be angry with him."Hello, Young Master. I'm sorry, Young Master. I haven't finished the task that Young Master gave me until now," said Henri with all his guilt. [Finish it immediately and give me good news!]"Okay, Young Master. I will finish my task immediately."Henri sighed in relief. His Young Master was not angry. However, Leon's firm and straightforward words certainly reflected his master's annoyance. Hen
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 53. At Singapore
Henri took a deep breath after replying to Leon's message. He had not found a way to enter the elite housing complex. Henri got up from his seat, then stood while observing the road. Suddenly, he got an idea when he saw a vehicle passing by.A garbage truck was on the other side of the housing complex road, and was about to cross to reach the gate of the housing complex. In his heart, Henri guessed that the garbage truck must be about to pick up the garbage in the elite housing complex. Henri hurriedly ran over, he helped the truck cross until it arrived on the other side safely."Thank you, Sir," said the garbage truck driver once his car had reached the other side, he stopped for a moment to thank Henri."Sir, may I have a ride in the car? I want to go inside but the security guard is blocking me. I have a relative who needs help," Henri asked, he deliberately put on a pitiful face so that the driver would feel sorry for him and give Henri a ride. "Okay. Get in!" Henri widened his

Meanwhile, the plane that Leon was on had started to take off. Cindy seriously listened to what Leon was saying. Leon's plan when he arrived in Singapore. "So, are we going to order an online taxi or use the taxi service that is already at the airport, Young Master?" Cindy asked once Leon finished explaining his plan. "Just make it quick, Cindy. If you order online, you'll have to wait." "Okay, Young Master. Is there anything else you need?" "Remember, find a car rental place as soon as possible, okay? My plan can't be delayed any longer.""Okay, Young Master." Cindy answered quickly. She wrote down everything Leon asked for in her small notebook. So, after arriving at the hotel later, Cindy had to find a car rental place to carry out Leon's plan. Cindy couldn't book now because she wasn't allowed to activate her cellphone while they were in flight. "Um... Cindy, find me some food other than this. I'm so hungry but I don't like any of these foods." "Earlier when the flight atte

Hany was really hesitant, she wanted to fight back and not follow Bastian's request. However, the lives of her two loved ones were in danger. If Hany followed Bastian's request, of course Hany also had to bear the risk. It was possible that her boss would find out what Hany was doing and she could be fired from her job."What should I do? Should I just play along with this game?" Hany muttered while squeezing her hair in frustration.Like it or not, Hany finally checked the financial report made by Bastian again. Several times her lips cursed when she found such a large amount in several parts."Damn it! How could he invite me to conspire to commit corruption. If I didn't think about the lives of my mother and sister, I wouldn't have followed his wishes. Dirty games like this are not something I like," Hany muttered as she continued to check. Hany decided to print the report so she could study it. After printing it, Hany circled the parts where the nominal amount was inflated. Then s

"Don't do it again!" Hany's boss said curtly, glaring at Hany and leaving the place. Hany breathed a sigh of relief. However, her relief faded when suddenly someone came and stood right in front of her. "Mr. Bastian. How can I help you?" Hany asked, she was surprised because it was unusual for Bastian to come to her desk on purpose. Bastian often passed by her office, but his main destination was not Hany, but Hany's boss or another department head. "Didn't we make an agreement last night, you said, you're proud to follow what I ordered?"Hany stared in shock, until she became nervous at once. "S-so, it was S-sir who called me last night?" Without answering Hany's question, Bastian immediately dragged a chair and sat beside Hany. "Now do what I told you to do!" Bastian ordered, although it sounded low but full of emphasis and firmness. "W-what should I do, Sir?" Hany looked at Bastian with a confused face, she didn't know what the desires and goals of the man who was in a dif

That person was the sender of the mysterious package. But who? And what was his purpose?"Ask, what do you want?" her mother whispered to Hany, and Hany responded with a nod."Tell me what you really want!" Hany shouted to the person on the other end.[Calm down, don't shout. Just follow my instructions, later you will find out for yourself what my purpose is]Hany was silent for a while, she was thinking and considering. Hany's mother whispered something, making Hany nod and say to the person on the phone, "just tell me, what should I do." [Tomorrow morning we will take action. I will come to your workplace!] Hany was surprised, she spontaneously replied, "what do you mean? What are you going to do at my workplace? I can't accept random guests during working hours!" [Don't worry, no one will scold us]

However, it turned out that the staff flatly rejected Bastian's plan.Getting such a reaction, Bastian did not give up.

Bastian spied on where her house was and who her family was. After confirming her home address, Bastian returned to his own house. He called someone he ordered to do something to Hany and her family.

"Mr. Leon gave the phone to you. But there is a condition."Hary was forced to say that to his son. He hoped that with that condition Ardy would try if he wanted something."What is the condition, Dad?"Ardy immediately approached and sat next to his father after saying that. He was really curious about the conditions his father gave if he R the phone."The condition is qhat you have to study harder and your grades must not drop because you are too busy playing with the phone," said Hary with a serious face."Okay, Ardy agrees!"Don't just say you agree without any proof.

Not getting an answer from Veronica, Ariana couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. She then said something that made Veronica glare and growl in annoyance."Just say that you still love Dion, that's why you can't love Leon. Right?""Mom!" Veronica exclaimed while clenching her fists. "Mom, don't talk carelessly!"Veronica's face looked red, clearly she was holding back her anger at Ariana's accusation. In the past, Veronica did love Dion. When she was married to Leon, she still loved Dion. However, ever since Veronica found out about Dion's affair, all her love for her lover immediately evaporated.Like milk repaid with water from the tuba, Veronica's loyalty was repaid with Dion's betrayal.

Veronica was still lost in her thoughts, when suddenly someone entered her room. Especially when the person called her name, truly, the person's arrival was a real surprise for her. "Mommy!" Ariana rushed over to the bed where Veronica was lying, then helped her sit down. For a moment the two women from different generations hugged each other, relieving their longing for each other. "Vero, are you okay, right? Leon came to the house and told me about your condition. Then he ordered a ticket for Mommy to come here."Ariana told what had happened until she suddenly came. Leon, who was on business outside the office, took the time to visit Ariana and tell her about Veronica's progress.

Their relationship was good like a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. When Veronica was ki

Especially when he saw Leon enter the cafe and look around, looking for Hary.Seeing that, Hary immediately took the initiative to wave his hand, calling Leon. The owner of Tan's Industries turned his head, he saw Hary's wave. Then Leon stepped closer to Hary's table, making Ardy's father's heartbeat even more irregular.Leon immediately sat right in front of Hary, they were only separated by the table. Leon's calm attitude made Hary flustered, embarrassed and at a loss for words. Feeling nervous and nervous at the same time, confused about how to start the conversation."Just tell me if you want the phone, I'll give it to you."A firm and cold baritone voice came out of Leon's lips, making Hary even more nervous."Ehm!"Hary cleared his throat, trying to control himself and get rid of his nervousness."Mr. Leon, how could you give me this
